BGBBIN Blid' ANI) SHELFTHREFQR.

Application filed october 15, 1925, Serial No. 1.641.565, and in Germany april 24, 1925.

This invention relates to bobbin-bins and shelves therefor and the object ot the invention is to in'iprove the bins in order to be adapted to ytake up bobbins, cops and the like directly near the spinning machine and to be retained therein throughout, and while subjected to various treatments, until finally they are delivered ior use, as for instance to the loom. In other words the bobbins or cops remain in my bins when transported to the store room. to the steam boxes, baclr to the store room.y to the shearing` machine and to the loom. The improved bobbin-bins should be adapted to be superposed to form a shelt and to be placed into the steam boxes; they should not be subjected to variation ot weight by hygroscopical properties or easy wearing, for the purpose ot having an ever known or uniform standard vy'eight, and they should render their contentsvisible ironi the exterior.

lly my invention there is avoided the need tor en'iptying the bobbins troni the bins, and refilling them many times and in consequence damage and loss ot material by yarn-scrap and bending the heads' oi the cops or breakii'ig the spool-tubes is avoided. By my invention the empty bins do not require retaring each time the contents are to be weighed, and the need tor shelves in the store and tor special containers in the steamboxes is avoided.

Another objectof the invention is to provide shelves ot' simple and cheap construction which in some cases may be used, adapted to receive my improved bins.

lVi-th these and other objects in view, my invention consists in a bin 'for bobbins and the lil-:e and a shelf hereinafter fully described and claimed, and illustrated in the annexed drawings.

In the drawings:

Figs. 1 8 show the bobbin-bin respectively in side elevation, in end elevation and in plan;

Fig. fl shows the bobbin-bin within the steam-box,

F 5 shows the use of the bin as a shelf, the front and bottom walls being shown broken away,

Figs. 6 and 'i' show the .sub-division of the main bin in 1/2 and l@ units,

Figs. 8 and 9 show in front and side elevation respectively a shelf for containing the bins.

rhe bin has an iron-trame a, which is strong enoughto resist the usual shop use by pulling., nisliing, throwing, etc., and which is also stitl" enough to serve as a seat tor the toms of the bins coact. The perforations of the walls of' the bins allow the steam to pass ireely to the contents. The bin being made rust-prooi, it is not damaged by the steam. VlPhe bott sl'iaped that the bottom of eachy basket can lit into the rim ot another. Tl'ieangle-irons 'forming the bottom to this end turn their hollow sides to the exterior and the angleirons forming the rim edges turn their hollow sides to the interior; the outer edges having the same size on top and bottom, the bottom iron-angles tit into the opening ironangles. f

Fig. 5 represents an example of'using the bins as shelving. These iron-bins may be easily stacled up ay height ot seven without deflection from vertical alignment. This column of bins forms in this way quite a solid vertical block. rlihe store-room requires no shelves or other fixtures which results in the advantages of:

A very cheap installation, and entire freedom or interchangeability in setting-up oft bins in any desired arrangement and last but not least the invention permits of displacement and transposition of the bins to other departments while the room that heretotore served as a store-room. may be cleared and used tor other purposes. ly creating a standard bin for the varieties of yarn, which are used in greater lots (about pounds) to 80% ot the piled-up quantities of yarns may be stored in most cases Without any shelves.

To prevent a changing or mingling ot the different kinds of yarns the lots belonging together can be marked. The quality and quantity of the bin contents can be ascertained at a glance through the open mesh walls.

.is and rims ot the bins are so GOl lll() The bin is big enough to hold as many cops as belongto a whole or half a selfactorclotting yet is not too big to be carried easily by Women and is of such a shape as canbe easily pushed into theV usual steam-apparatus.

The subdivision into smaller baskets: 1/2 andl, Fig. 6, for smaller lots of a few pounds renders possible minute subdivision. These smaller bins may be placed into suitable shelves, as their smaller bases hardly admit of considerable vertical piling up. A shelf adapted for this purpose' is shown in Figs.' 8 and 9. VTubes or rods d are fastened vertically in the floor and united together in pairs by iron-angles e. Two iron angles e are arranged in the saine height on opposite sides of the' tubes or rods and the pairs in such a distance from one another as toreceive 'a` bin between-them. The iron-angles may rest' on loose bolts passingl through the tubes or rods d; so asto permit varying the dist-anceof the pairs. In some cases the bins ofstfandardv type may be alsoplaced in such shelves insteadof being piled one on the other.`

rlhe following shows the economical results of the described stiff and transparent bin:

l; A iepacking of the bobbins on the way tothe looml is no longer necessitated,

2i Aiiy'loss of yarn by damage is excluded,

3. The utmostfacility of inspection and utilization of space in store' rooins are accompli'shed,

4. The number of operators is reduced to a minimum,

5. Retaring of empty bins (tara) is no longer' required', whereas it is daily necessary the box so that'the sidesof the stack form walls without projections.

2. Ain improved bin for bobbins, cops and the like having a wire mesh bo-ttom, an angle bar frame about said bottom, a wire mesh side and end wall structure and an angle* bar frame at the rim of said box, the angle frame at the bottom and at the rim being turned in opposite directions whereby the bins may be readily stacked.

3. A bin for bobbins and cops having a wire mesh bottom, an angle bar frame sup' porting said bottom, `said frame having its corner uppermost and innermost.,` wire mesh" side andw end walls extending upward from the upperedge of said angle bar frame, said bin having an angle bar rim' with `its corner at the respective side and end walls and its horizontal web' extending inward therefrom,y

whereby said bins may be stacked one above the otherwth the angle bar` frames of sufi4 perposed bins nested.

In'testimonyv whereof I have affixed my signature. i.
